Which Sethos construction is the best?


Best weapon	Hunter’s Path
Weapon substitutes	Scion of the Blazing Sun
Best artifact set	Wanderer’s Troupe
Main stats	Sands – Elemental mastery Goblet – Electro damage bonus Circlet – Crit rate/damage
Sub stats	Elemental mastery, crit rate, crit damage, attack

With his bow, Sethos can deal with charged projectiles and is positioned as an on-field electro DPS thanks to his equipment. To trigger responses, we advise matching him with either another hydro or electro user, or with dendro users such as Nahida.

The Hunter's Path is the greatest bow for Sethos in terms of gear, and a complete set of Wanderer's Troupe is the optimal artifact set to pursue.

Which Sethos weapons are the best?

Any bow that raises elemental sections, crit damage, or crit rate is beneficial to Sethos. This will function flawlessly if you have a Hunter's Path; if not, the four-star Scion of the Blazing Sun is a great option.

Weapon	Effect	How to obtain
Hunter’s Path (five-star)	Bonus stat: Increases crit rate Skill: Gain a 12% electro damage bonus, and obtain the Tireless Hunt effect after hitting an opponent with a charged attack. This effect increases charged attack damage by 160% of Sethos’ elemental mastery. This effect will be removed after 12 charged attacks, or ten seconds. This can trigger once every 12 seconds	Weapon banner (as a boosted five-star)
Thundering Pulse (five-star)	Bonus stat: Increases crit damage Skill: Increases Sethos’ attack by 20% and grants Thunder Emblem.

Opponents affected by Heartsearer take 28% more charged attack damage. A Sunfire Arrow can trigger once every ten seconds	Battle Pass reward
Prototype Crescent (four-star)	Bonus stat: Increases attack Skill: Aimed shot hits on enemies’ weak points increase Sethos’ movement speed by 10% and attack by 36% for ten seconds	Forged

Which artifacts fit Sethos the best?

Wanderer's Troupe is the greatest group of artifacts for Sethos.You may combine sets with elemental mastery bonuses to maximize the effects of his artifacts without depending on stats, since it increases his charged attack damage. His damage will also increase with a four-piece set of Gilded Dreams, which has additional elemental mastery and attack.

Artifact set	Effect	How to obtain
Wanderer’s Troupe	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four-piece set: Increases Sethos’s charged attack damage by 35%	Weekly and world bosses, artifact strongbox
Gilded Dreams	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four equipped: Within eight seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, Sethos obtains buffs based on the type of other party members. For every electro party member, he gets a 14% attack boost, and for every other elemental type party member, he gets 50 elemental mastery. This can trigger once every eight seconds, even when he is not on the field	Spire of Solitary Enlightenment in Sumeru
Thundering Fury	Two equipped: Increases electro damage Four equipped: Increases the damage of overload, electro-charged, superconduct, and hyperbloom by 40%. Increases the damage of aggravate by 20%. If quicken or another electro reaction triggers, Clorinde’s elemental skill cooldown decreases by one second. This can occur once every 0.8 seconds	Midsummer Courtyard domain in Mondstadt
Flower of Paradise Lost	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four-piece set: Sethos’ hyperbloom damage increases by 40%. After he triggers the reaction, he gains another 25% bonus.

Which Sethos team competitors are the best?

Since Sethos depends on elemental mastery and responses to provide excellent damage, we strongly advise using Nahida alongside him. Sucrose, also known as Kazuha, may combine opponents to make it simpler to attack them, while Yelan, Fischl, and Furina are examples of off-field characters who can assist generate a lot of responses. Baizhu is your greatest option if you need a healer or shield since he can also apply damage on opponents.

First character slot	Second character slot	Third character slot	Fourth character slot
Sethos	Nahida	Fischl	Kazuha
Sethos	Nahida	Furina	Yelan
Sethos	Raiden Shogun	Baizhu	Kazuha

What skills does Sethos possess?

This is how Sethos's equipment works and what he accomplishes in combat. Basically, you charge his ultimate to amp up his regular strikes (which now include an electrical component) and then utilize charged bullets to do more damage to the adversary.

Skills in action:

Skill	Effect
Normal attack – Royal Reed Archery	Normal: Sethos performs up to three consecutive shots with his bow Charged: Sethos performs precise Aimed Shots with increased damage. While aiming, Sethos applies electro to his arrows, causing electro damage to targets. He has different effects depending on how long he holds a charge – Level one: Fires an arrow that deals electro damage Level two: Fires off a Shadowpiercing Shot that pierces enemies with electro damage. Once the Shadowpiercing Shot is fully charged, Sethos cannot move around the field until it is fired Plunging: Sethos fires a hail of arrows to deal AoE damage
Elemental skill – Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands	Sethos gathers the might of thunder and deals AoE electro damage while jumping backward. If this attack triggers electro reactions (electro-charged, superconduct, overloaded, quicken, aggravate, hyperbloom, or electro swirl), Sethos recovers some elemental energy
Elemental burst – Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer	Sethos performs a secret rite and enters the Twilight Meditation state, where his normal attacks become Dusk Bolts, that deal electro damage. This also has a damage increase based on Sethos’ elemental mastery. Sethos cannot fire charged shots in this state, though the Dusk Bolt damage counts as charged attack damage

Skills in passivity:

Skill	Effect
Black Kite’s Enigma (unlocked at ascension one)	While aiming, the charge time decreases 0.2 seconds based on each point of Sethos’ current energy. Charging time can reduce a total of 0.3 seconds this way. If he fires a Shadowpiercing Shot, he consumes all tallied energy, whereas a level one charged shot consumes 50%
The Sand King’s Boon (unlocked at ascension four)	Sethos gains the Scorching Sandshade effect, which increases the damage of Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos’ current elemental mastery. This effect cancels five seconds after a Shadowpiercing Shot hits an enemy, or when Sethos uses four Shots to strike enemies
Thoth’s Revelation (unlocked automatically)	Sethos displays the location of Sumeru-specific materials on the mini-map

Which constellations belong to Sethos?

You may add several beneficial enhancements to Clorinde's kit if you manage to grab many copies of her or if you're aiming for the complete C6.

Constellation	Effect
C1: Sealed Shrine’s Spiritsong	The crit rate of Shadowpiercing Shot increases by 15%
C2: Papyrus Scripture of Silent Secrets	When Sethos meets the following conditions, he gains a 15% electro damage bonus for ten seconds that can stack twice: -Consumes elemental energy through aimed shots -Gaining elemental energy by triggering elemental reactions with Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands -Using Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer
C3: Ode to the Moonrise Sage	Increases the level of Royal Reed Archery – Sethos’ normal attack – by three, up to a maximum of 15
C4: Beneficent Plumage	When a Shadowpiercing Shot or Dusk Bolt strikes two or more opponents, all party members gain 80 elemental mastery for ten seconds
C5: Record of the Desolate God’s Burning Sands	Increases the level of Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer – by three, up to a maximum of 15
